Barack Obama's Vice Presidential Search Committee has been very discreet about whether or not I'm on the list of possible V.P. candidates, but that's probably because it's taking a while to read all my blog entries back to the beginning. As you know, I almost never miss even a day, over three years that adds up.
But I can probably help them along. Here are the 5 pros and 5 cons for making me a Vice-Presidential candidate:
Pros:
1) I am SO vetted. I have no secrets, I mean none. There will be no "October Surprise" -- you can't embarass me, I have been a credit to my disgrace for years.
2) I have tons of friends in Colorado (well 2, but they know lots of people), I think I could swing that state, on top of California of course, and maybe even Tennessee. Plus anyone who's ever read this blog is a lock, for sure. Well, most of them.
3) I could save some money by doubling as Press Spokesman. I look good in a suit and am very articulate. I speak French, so can campaign in rural Maine and Louisiana.
4) I willl sleep with any gay Republican who agrees to vote Democratic. I can probably get Sheria to sleep with any of the straight ones--she really wants Obama to win. Don't worry, I'll make her my Second Lady--I'm all for mixed marriage (that would be a man and a woman.) WIth her we get North Carolina and any wavering Clinton voters. She could also double as Attorney General, saving some more money.
5) I would be an excellent insurance policy for Obama. Would you want to see me become the President? No-I didn't think so.
Cons:
1) I didn't file taxes while I was in prison. McCain could probably make an issue of it.
2) There are some questionable pictures of me on the Internet. What can I say, I was high when the pictures were taken.
3) My dog sheds. It would mean extra vacuuming for Blair House.
4) The Secret Service may not like it when I pick up trash in D.C. every morning, Of course, the streets would be cleaner. (Add that to "Pros" maybe.)
5) I have to nap at 4 every day. It could be a problem when Kings and Prime Ministers come to visit, but I think they could schedule around it.
Of course, I could probably stretch either list, but in the interest of brevity. let's leave it as is.
I want to see your list. That's right, I'm starting a meme. List the 5 Pros and Cons of why you would/wouldn't make a good choice to run for Vice-President. And if you post something even remotely serious, I'll have Dick Cheney come over and shoot you.

P.S. The trio (that's the V.P. Search Committee--recognize Caroline Kennedy?--is via Honthorst, the "frame" is from Charles King.)
I can hardly breathe because I've been laughing so hard. I wonder how many calories extreme, giddy laughter burns? I may be able to skip my "sweating to the oldies" time today. It would be a sacrifice, but I'll place my virtue on the altar in order to solicit Republican voters to turn to Barack. The Second Lady gig makes it all worthwhile. This is a great meme. First I need a snack to recover my strength. Laughing and rolling around on the floor is exhasuting. Then I shall take up your meme.
PS Just took a good look at the Hy-Art (laughing to hard to really see it earlier) and I the search committee has me laughing again!
Oh Le Trash Whisperer, with you in office it certainly would be the most jolly of administrations. And can you imagine the walls hung with Hy-Art? You have my vote.
can you give me the link to the questionable pictures on the net please?
